Today’s business climate demands transparency, accountability and above all else, compliance. Globally, compliance regulations call for companies to adopt a cohesive strategy to ensure compliance and control are a part of day-to-day operations.

 

There are many technologies available today that help enterprises reduce their exposure to risk and the possible penalties associated with them; selecting fax over IP – known as “FoIP” – is one such way enterprises can strengthen their compliance efforts.

 

“By tracking and securing fax communication, Open Text Fax Server, RightFax Edition, helps reduce exposure to risk, corporate reputation and severe financial penalties by securely delivering documents in compliance with key regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley,” said Matthew Brine, vice president of fax and document distribution group of  Open Text Corp. (News - Alert)

 

For enterprises across all industries, data security issues are top of mind – and must be high on the list of priorities in order to sustain privacy. According to Brine, with Fax over IP, this can be accomplished.

 

“Fax server security is deeply embedded into our customer’s core IP infrastructure ensuring role appropriate access throughout the lifecycle of the fax,” he said.

 

The company’s flagship fax product – “Open Text Fax Server, RightFax Edition” – includes features that support compliance efforts such as:

 

 

Regulations require healthcare organizations to be more efficient and run their organizations more securely to enhance patient service and ensure the privacy and security of private personal health information.

 

“The road to healthcare compliance can be a challenge. Access to personal health information must be limited and its confidentiality must be diligently protected,” Brine said.

 

In addition, healthcare organizations need to provide a reliable audit trail for tracking and reporting communications.

 

Using Open Text Fax Server, RightFax Edition, healthcare organizations can improve their ability to securely and efficiently send, route, receive and archive documents and data that are impacted by healthcare regulations.

 

“Secure systems and processes must be in place to provide information in a timely, efficient and cost-effective way to the people that need to use it to drive patient healthcare decisions,” he said.
